During World War II, a group of Jewish prisoners in the Sobibor death camp plan a daring escape, facing the brutality and horrors of the Nazi regime.
In January 1942, high-ranking representatives of the German Nazi regime hold the infamous Wannsee Conference, where they plan the organized genocide of millions of Jews. This fictionalized TV film, based on historical records, commemorates the 80th anniversary of the event.
The Wannsee Conference is a chilling historical drama that depicts the real-time meeting where high-ranking Nazi officials plan the 'Final Solution.' Set in 1942, the film explores the institutional brutality and racism that permeated Nazi Germany during World War II.
Today, the word "Auschwitz" is a synonym for the Holocaust. Thousands of Jews died there every day. With the help of some acted scenes, photos and graphics, the film tells of a day in May 1944. The starting point is a unique document: a photo album created by the SS perpetrators themselves. Almost all of the photos were taken at the end of May 1944, in just a few days. They show the cruel routine, the arrival of the victims, their "selection" on the ramp, the robbery of their property and the transformation of all those who were not immediately killed, into shaved, uniformed slaves. One survivor is Irina Weiss. On a photo she recognizes her little brothers and her mother - waiting unsuspectingly near the crematorium. The SS photographers captured all of this. Their identity is known today: one of them was Bernhard Walter, a "Stabsscharführer" who lived with his wife and three children near the extermination camp.
